Week 4 Reading


“Being the board” is a very different way of viewing things.  It is hard to imagine taking responsibility for things that we feel are not in our control, such as the car crash or flood described in the book.  However, I think that by viewing things as if they were always a possibility and that we were aware of that possibility will greatly change the way the world is perceived. 
Framing the possibilities is, again, a different way of looking at things.  To be constantly aware of the “downward spiral” and choosing to think of the possibilities in every situation is not the way that people are used to thinking.  I think that if we start viewing the world in a more positive way and thinking about the possibilities that are out there, that everyone would be much happier and fulfilled with their life.
Overall, this book has been wonderful.  I have learned a lot about myself from reading it and have learned how to look more positively at things.
